A member asked:
My wife's period is often delayed.it varies from 30-35days in average, sometimes it varies to 40-45days. lastly, she was late by 16 days. is it normal?

It is not normal but: It is not normal but irregular periods are not that uncommon. I will suggest she consult her gynecologist to make sure there is nothing wrong and if she needs some therapy like birth control pills to regulate her periods.
